I’m in L.A. Unfortunately, without Ryan Reynolds’ address. *sigh* I’m out west speaking at a conference called BlogWorld. My last trip for this year. So feel free to look in the medicine cabinet and under the bed. Check out what I wrote at Babble about the “I Am…” project. Ignore that riding crop. I like [...]

taking volunteers to be my first passengers
This was my first car. Without the paint job. And rims. And sound system. And backseat. BUT JUST LIKE THAT! (I was so gangsta’) In the past there have been sporty little cars and behemoth SUV’s. Of course, now there is a minivan that I ride in, but can’t drive. Pete was at a store [...]
Type-A-Parent Conference stands for Type-”Awesome”-Parent Conference
I spent the weekend in Asheville, NC at the Type-A-Parent Conference. It was a conference I always enjoy in a city I love with people I adore doing stuff we agree to never talk about. Unfortunately, most at this conference didn’t know there was a reason I hid away for this weekend. The morning we [...]
own your nap
“You need to own your naps again.” Pete said this other day when we were talking about a lot of things that needed SOMETHING. I have this site and Aiming Low that I’m building up. 25 writers I love talking to each day. We’re organizing events at BlogHer and TypeAParent. The freelance thing I do. [...]
when the Ritz Carlton (which was great) tried to kill me
I’ve never had the treat of staying at a Ritz Carlton. So I was looking forward this trip to NOLA as a luxury. I was expecting a much higher standard of shampoo to jank. DID.NOT.DISAPPOINT. Now, let me start off by making sure I’m perfectly clear on certain points Our room was comped for the [...]
Mom 2.0 – get ready
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The girl at the Ritz-Carlton registration desk said it was because they learned their lessons from New Orleans. There will be several posts regarding this PHENOMENAL conference and the time spent in NOLA. There’s the conference itself, learning and networking, and the exceptional organizers and the eleventy-trabillion flavors [...]
Disney Dream, part 2
We came. We saw. We ate a lot of chocolate. There was incredible time in the AquaDuck. There were kids’ clubs that left the grown ups alone and we indulged in that one thing every parent can never get enough of. Hot dinner! There was tons of great times on the ship, but it was [...]
what we’re doing at Blissdom? (hint: no rubber chickens)
I’m packing my bags again (actually on time, this round). I’m headed to Nashville with my friend Robin P. You have yet to be with someone funnier. I brought extra extra panties, just in case. We are going to a conference called Blissdom. I was asked to speak on a panel. In 2009 Blissdom was [...]
Coming home to SNOWpocalypse. FTW.
I’m home. I had to leave San Jose and the fabulous friends there. The weather guy did his best to scare the crap out of us. SNOWPOCALYPSE was coming. It was the end of the universe. So we packed our bags and got on a plane and played let’s-beat-the-snow-to-Atlanta. I won this round. I’m glad [...]
suck with a capital S
I have this whole post to tell you about the #140 conference, Detroit, the fiasco at the airport yesterday. But, frankly, I didn’t write that much when I had two working hand. So, we’ll go with one. It all started when we got lost in downtown Detrot on our way to the airport. I called [...]
where planes can’t take you
I made it. To Detroit. But, more importantly. In an airport where my husband kissed me goodbye, On a plane where my friend and I laughed as we soared above the clouds. In a car that was new on streets that were unknown in a city unexplored. Then to a hotel room where my kids’ [...]
this is the morning after
I made it back. In one piece. After laughing more in one weekend than I have in a long time. (Like, so hard that I had to go to the bathroom more regularly.) After an opportunity to meet new friends and see faces that made me smile in familiarity. After talking about my strokes again, [...]
About Anissa
Erma Bombeck said something that pretty much defines my approach to life.... "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." If you switch the word TALENT for LOVE or LAUGHTER or HAPPINESS....it still stands.
